Riddle Point Rowing Association

Bloomington, Indiana

This is an update to efforts by the Lake Lemon Conservation District (LLCD) to prevent Zebra Mussel introduction into Lake Lemon. Signs have been placed at the Riddle Point boat ramp and the Schell Marina ramp warning about Zebra Mussels. Flyers have been printed to hand out to boats launching from both ramps to warn about the presence of Mussels in Geist Reservoir and tips on prevention. The LLCD web site has been updated to include a photo, information and tips on cleaning boats and preventing the spread of Zebra Mussels. To gain access, go to lakelemon.org. On the home page click on the biological report tab and then the wildlife and invasive species tab. Gate house attendants will begin cursory inspections of boats coming into Riddle Point Park. I found a very informative video about Zebra Mussel presence and prevention in Kansas lakes that is relevant to our situation in Central Indiana.
